    English as a Second Language Teacher

    An English as a second language (ESL) teacher is responsible for providing lessons and support to students who are learning English as a second language. ESL teachers must be adaptable, creative, and sensitive to the cultural differences expected when working with students from foreign countries. You do not need to speak a foreign language in order to teach ESL.
